DISCHARGE USAGE.-I
DISCHARGE USAGE. I Local Demurrage Appeal I Dismissed. The Court of-Appeal on "Wednesday lhdard an appeal hy Morgan and Cadogan, I/ijhited, from a decision of the Divi- sional Court of Admiralty, reversing a judgment-ofc the County Court at Swan- sea in a claim by Charles H. Schauer for demurrage of plaintiff's schooner, Charn- pengise. at Swansea, in respect of the discharge of a cargo of pitwood carried from •La Roche]lo to Swansea. Defen- dants set up that they were excused on several ground, one in particular that they. were presented by force majeure. Lord Justice Bankes said the evidence taken in the County Court showed that 1 here was a usage to discharge into wagons as opposed to discharging on the quay and, preferably into railway wagons. but certainly into colliery warsons if ..railway wagons were not available. It was, therefore, impossible to say that the usage at Swansea was to discharge exclusively into railway wagons. The other Lords Justices agreed, and the appeal was dismissed with costs.

 HEATED INTERLUDE.
  HEATED INTERLUDE. Counsel Bangs Fist on Desk in Mond Case. CASE FOR DEFENCE. (Special Report to the Daily Post.") I LONDON, Thursday, j The hearing was resumed on Thurs- day (before Mr. Justice Darling and a special jury) of the action in which Sir Alfred Moritz Mond, Bart., First Com- missioner of Works, sues Mr. Harry Macleod Fraser and Mr. Henry Hamil- ton Beamish for an injunction to re- strain them from printing, publishing, or exhibiting any poster or advertise- ment alleging that he was a traitor, or from publishing any similar libel affect- ing him in his profession and office. The*d Pendants on March 18 last ex- hibited in a large poster in a window at Spring Gardens, Charing-cross, London. the following' words:—" Sir Alfred I Moritz Mond is a traitor; he allotted shares to Huns during the war. The plaintiff said that ?cse words were falser And maliciously published, and that they were a libel on him. Sir Edward Carson, K.C., Mr. Douglas Hogg, K.C.. Mr. Hastings, K.C., Mr. Harold Smith, and Mr. Herbert Met- calfe appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Percival F. Smith and Mr. G. M. Gathome-Hardy for Mr. Fraser; Sir Ellis Griffith, K.C.. for Messrs. Brur- npr, Mond and Co.; and Mr. TTastinsrs, K.C.. and Mr. W. A. Barton for the Mond Nickel Company; Mr. Cecil Hayes for the. "Nationa l News"; and Mr.Beamish appeared in person. The first incident of the day was an appli- cation bv Mr. Hayes on behalf of the proprie- tors of the "National News," to make a statement. Mr. Justice Darling said people who had been mentioned in suggestions in the cross- examination could not come and ask to make statements. If he granted this. he would h/rtve to o-rant many others, such as by the "MorniM Post." "Westminster Gazette a.nd so on, and also by third a.nd fourth cou- sins of plaintiff. This wa* an inquiry as to definite issues, and he could not grant the application. The remedy of the newspapers concerned wa« to publish their own version of these matters. ,He had had to mi in the cross- examination 3 lot that was disagreetble to people; but people probably did not realise how much had been excluded. RESTATING THE ISSUI- His Lardskip, before Mr. Percival feraith beyan hi!! opening of Fiasar's oast, s.ald that the case had covered such a wide range, that he felt it desirable to state the real issues* The allegation was that the plain- tiff was a traitor. He would tell the jury it was for them to say what was meant by traitor. It might be a person who had committed high treason, or one guilty of treachery in other forms. The words might be used almost figuratively. It was said that the allegation that plaintiff allotted shares to the Huns during the war was true. It might. be that this statement was a comment or explanation as to how Dlaintiff was aJlieged to be a traitor. It was for defendant to s how that it was fair com- ment by proving that he did so allot s hares. The jury would have to ask themselves whether it was true that plaintiff was a traitor in any sense of the word whether it wa", true he did allot shares to Hurs; and vh-ther, if it be proved that he did this,- the cbrnme-nt was a fair one thai he was a traitor. That wa (he way he would put the ca-o to the jury. Mr. Perciwil Smith ,«aid he would submit if the shares were allotted under circum- stances where knowledge ty the plaintiit might be presumed, he would still be re- sponsible. The Judge said the law always presumed that a person who did a thing through an- other was personally responsible. I ANOTHER DEFINITION. Opening Fraser's defence subsequently, Mr. Percival Smith said the issue was whetlier shares were allotted to Huns, and the individuality of the accuser did not matter. He would submit that plaintiff, by virtue of hi. position, must be regarded as a leader of the nation, and that he had been guilty of actions that amounted to treachery to the Stat-e, He would ask the jury to say upon the facts it was a fair statement to mak e th&t Mond was a traitor. This did not mean he was an habitual criminal. If one said "Smith is a thief; he stole my umbrella." it meant, not tnat me man was an habitual criminal, but that he was a thief because he stole the umbrella. Counsel proceeded to claim that in the Prize Court, the late Sir Samuel Evans, who had sacrificed himself according to his lights durirg the war to the benefit of the country, had accepted the principle that every citizen must regard as an enemy the citizen of an enemy State in war. The duty r&stfd on plaintiff M a leader of our nation tc consider in no way t.he ictere8ts of people who were legal enemies, and if it, were proved- here there had been contravention of Trading with the Enemy Act, proclaroa- tions not of a mereiy technical nature, then there could be no doubt of plaintiff's guilt. If the offence were only technical, he sub- mitted the jury would have to consider I whether plaintiff by his subsequent conduct, had not made the offence graver. Plaintiff had himse r said that anybody contravening the Act ought to be shot He contended the charge against the plaintiff rested on public j documents registered at Somerset House. There really was no question of any indi- vidual coming forward with evidence. The charge ?ay on the documents, and individual actir a would not affect the case. The defen- dant had never said shares were ssnt to enemies. The charge was that the shw?es had been allotted, and if pIainT-iff was shewn to have anything to do with

It was on the day of the Moratorium that the directors of the Mond Jvickei Co., called to a, special meet- ing by the' inevitability of war, parsed a resolution to allot to shareholders of the old company eha-ref in the new company. It was an extraordinary resolution by which the directors delegated to the, secre- tary their judiciary duties. It was done on the eve of the great war. That wa»s the action of this man who now claimed damages for loss of character. When the resolution to protect the interests of the ha,d begun, and he submitted it was not a resolution t protect, the interests of the shareholders, but rmp. TO OPEN THE DOOR. so that at the last moment something might I go out to those who were to become immortal foes to every individual in thus country. Counsel suggested that, an opportunity was given to the plaintiff in his own business to look after the interest of the nation at a time that he himself was acting as an inti- mate adviser to the Government. Action could have been taken that would have protec.t.d the interests of everybodv in this country. He conceded the company were entitled to the credit that belonged for not haying sent allotment letters, but the fact remained the nation would have bene- fited if the shares had never been allotted, because patriotic British people might have had the opportunity of buying them and receiving the large dividends that were paid during the war, instead of their being re- tained, with the possibility of being given over to the Huns after the war. During counsel's later observations the Judge remarked that through the 14th. 15th, 16th. and 17th centuries one of the greatest abuses turned on the doctrine of constructive treason. Counsel said he was de?in.g with a crime under the Tr-clding with the Enemy A-ct., under which there could be no question of construction. I Judge retorted that counsel was saying not that plaintiff had done anything'against the Act, but that.-he was a tra.itor. Sir Edward Carson protested later at a. suggestion put by Mr. Snath tihat an appli- cat-ion by him respecting a. certain invest- ment had been refused. The basis of the IIIsrtjori. wøs that something had passed between Mr. Smith and junior counsel for plaintiff. This was represented to be an ap- plication in the case. It was a monstrous misstatement that- no counsel should make. Mr. Smith expressed regret, but Added that if at the proper moment questions were raised as to his ''?espon?bHity he would face Iheni "clearly and fully. He went on to sub- mit that pIajntiN had been ?uiity of looking I' after the interests of the eneinje?. He was a pa?'ty to the resolution, and knew .the reasons for the resolution, and mu&t be held responsiMe. j A heated interlude developed when Sir E. Carson ma de the comment .that a statement j of Mr. Smith was untrue. Mi. Smith Hsked which statement, and, banging his fist on the desk, said he would 1 not stand it any longer. I Sir E. Carson aid counsel had asked if he could see certain letters. He consented. And Mr. Smith had now covered them all over with marks, pnd Nvas saying- he thought they were his own. It was intolerabie. I Mr. Smith replied that he refused to. dis- cuss himself, and went on with his speech. I He proceeded to.ref.ir to the case of a Ger- man woman whom, he said, went to live in Switzerland and was allowed to receive cer- tain dividends by the T rd of Trade. There ) was no guarantee that she would not have returned to Germany. The Judge I wonder if we could have won the war if she had? Mr. Smitli replied one incident was small, but i THE PRINCIPLE WAS IMPORTANT. IT all companies bad done the same a bad effect would have resulted to the public morale. The enforcement of discipline is I necessary for the whole country. The Judge said counsel was now attack- ing the Board of Trade and the Public I Trustee. Counsel argued plaintiff had an oppor- tunity of using knowledge he had coliected before the war so as to assist the Govern- ment; for example, respecting Mertons and their alleged German connection, and he would have made a public statement that would have calmed the public mind that had been greatly agitated over the metal in- dustry. Counsel referred to the circumstance of Sir Chas. Matthews being consulted with a view to the prosecution of plaintiff, and a?egcd that the Pu<bHc Prosecutor was f"- ged about the real facts like the Board of ced j.bout the i,eal faea?s  On the resumption after lunch the JTtd?e itold the jury that the t.nal request for ad dittonal payment had been agreed to, and they would receive on and after to-day an extra guinea per day. Just after the an- nouncement a juror came in late and apolo- gued, and the Judge observed, "You have just missed hearing the most interesting thing that has been said to-day. (Laughter.) Mr. Percival Smith then continued his speech, de.'jmg exhaustively with the ques- tions in the House bont the Mond Com- pany. He claimed the charge there had been an I ALLOTMENT OF SHARES WITHOUT LICENSE I "I was not answered, lfie B otrd'-)f lrade acted according to knowledge they had, but- they we-e fogged.

SWANSEA GAS. in !!'■
SWANSEA GAS. in !■ Manager Explains Before Committee. At Swcwisea Highways Committee on Thursday, Coun. T. Mprrells (chairman) pre- siding, the chairnwn re-elected and Mr. D. J. Davies .re-appointed vice-chairman. Regai-ding the alleged poor quality of the gae, the surveyor iMr. J. R. Heath), said there were still rextinctions on the quality, h c! qua.lity, and these could not fce revoked at the pre- sent time because otHhe meagre supplies of coal. There were about 3,000 tons in tran- sit, but there was a coal famine. Th s general manager (Mr. W. I-L Johns) of th-i Swansea, Gas Company attended be- fore th ? committee and explained that the > company was not responsible for the quality of the gas supplied, as they were called upor to reduce the qualit-v to 425 British thermit units, but the quality at Swansea, was 25 above that standard. He empha- sised the extreme difficulties owing to the' coal shorta ge, saying that the committee would appreciate the position when they were told that there was a stock of coa-J sufR- cie-iit for six days' supplies. Gas works throughout the country were suffering in the same way, vhilit as to alleged bad pressure he said that there was no pressure under two inches. He added that in future gas for h would be the "requirement and need not, 1 for illuminatin at all. Several towns, be r>aid. were without gas at all. The deposition of napthaline in the pipes in can- sequence of the changes in temperature caused a blocking of the pipes. The Chairman said that the committee ap- preciated the difficulties because of the short- age of coal, but Io had personal experi- ence of the ,arIa.hon in pressiwc, and on Sunday last- he might jxave had two oandle dips for his gas stove fbr what the gas was worth. Mr. Johns sarid that between 11 and 1.30 on Sundays there was the greatest climax of the week, but his board only on Wednesday decided that to obviate the heavy draught or the main on Sundays they would instal a booster so as to dra w IS out of any holder. That would make the pressure more constant. Mr. C. A. Seyler (public analyst) in- stanced a C" 't Sketty where candles had to be 1.:[, at tM-time. The ChairmM) also said that in his neigh- bourhood the position had become so bad that the people had gone in for oil-lamps. In reply to Mr. D. J. Davies, Mr. Johns explained that h* did not say that in future gas would not be supplied as an iliuminant, but that they need not on the flat flame burner. It was a Government proposal, and in other words gas would be baj-ed on heat units. The Chairman said it would be to the benefit of the gas consumers when the con- version took place. t Mr. Davieg said it was important to have, that point cleared up. The Town Clerk, aft?r Mr. John* had left.. reported upon the plvition of ¡,;¿:,a supply before the Board of TtJie and suggested thAt the chairman aitencled the next meeting of the new association that had been set. up. with a view of Swansea's interests being watched iu respect of the Bill now before the Board of Trade, which proposed to allow certain inert constituents m the gas In reply to Mr. Dan Evans, the Chairman said the present. was a splendid opportunity for extending their electrical undertaking. Mr D, -7. Davies said that the admissions of Mr. John^ showed that for lighting pur- poses in the future gas was done for. It was decided to be represented at the a-ssociation meeting. Application was mad" ¡'y the selth Wales Transport Company for peTmissioia to run a motor 'bu<; serv-ice from S'ran-ca to Pentreeiiwyth and Cwm, Mynyddbac!)

I I' I I I The story of the Swac?ea, police's long vigil over premises known as N Q. 1, St. Helen's-road, Swansea, a wine shop owned by Mrs. Lamprey, and the consequences was heard at Swansea on Thursday, when Mrs. Ann Lamprey (licensee) w-s charged with selling or supplying to ceri ii persons in her licensed premises (No. 1, St. Helen's-road), intoxicating liquor at a prohibited hour on October 25th, 19W. Margaret Recs was charged with aiding and abetting. Mrs. Lamprey wa6 also charged with be- ing the holder of a, justice's licence did knowingly permit her premises to be used as the habitual resort of certain women, con- trary to the Licensing (Consolidation) Act, 1910. on different dates between July 21 and October 25, 1919. Mr. Rupert Lewis ap-. peared for the police and Mr. Henry Thomp- son defended. | WHAT THE POLICE SAW. j WHAT THE POLICE SAW. i Mr. Lefris, in his opening, said the de- fendant Lamprey held a justice's licence in respect of a wine shop at St. Helen's-»oad, which she controlled. He proposed to take the second case of keeping 6 house for the use of improper persons fust, saying it was a serious case. The shop in question was described as a wine shop in which was a counter and a table, and at the hack of the room was an entrance into a back-room, over the door of which was a, curtain. In the room were several tables, and in a corner of the room there was a table with a rod arrangement above it where curtains could be drawn and privacy could be obtained. The shop, seid Mr. Lewis, had been watched since July last by the police, and after 10 o'clock in the night the shop would close and the J nghts lowered. After 10 o'clock somebody would knock at the door and the lights. would momen- tarily rise and the person be admitted, after which the lights would again go down. Mr. Lewis said he proposed to blting evidence shewing that on various dates from July to October women bf a certain class had been seen entering the shop in company with men--foreigners and Englishmen. Citing a few of the instances, Mr. Lewis said between 10.45 and 11.10 on July 21st six couples were seen leaving the shoo ç;; -x- NINE FEMALES OF A CERTAIN CLASS. On July 2&n*x nine females (all of a oerliaM class) and 16 males were seen entering the shop. I On different dates, right up Wf Octwber • last, Mr. Lewis described ia&taaiow of moii and women entering and leaving the shop, t-he parties stopping there for hours on &ome occasions, which proved they were there longer tliait would be necessary for reason- able refreshment. j One officer ha,d entered the shop, continued I Mr. Lewis, and had overheard conversation relating to "boys" and appointments, etc. These. women, said Mr. Lewi's, would remain in the shop for hours on end. and would go in with men, and leave and enter a.ga¡in j shortly afterwards with other men. P.O. Franklin deposed to watching the premises from the 21st July to October last. He said he had followed women of a certain class from the different hotels in t.he town to the shop. and saw them leave later with men whom he followed to a suspected house.

ARE FOOTBALLERS LAZY ?I
ARE FOOTBALLERS LAZY ? I 1 rotessional football is generally accepted as the most skilful exposition possible of the control of a ball by the feet. There is even a popular tendencv to marvel that the standard of skill is so high. But actually we should marvel that in some respects the standard of skill is so iow. This much is certain— if the footballer expended a tenth of the perseverance and practice upon learning to shoot that the juggler expends upon learning to keep half a dozen plates circling from hand to hand, we should j seldom see a penalty kick fail or a corner kink badly placed. i !— b. •

SWANSEA'S POSITION. regarding the decision of the Glam- organ County Council to dismiss all their married women teachers, Mr. T. J. -.ees, the Lirector of Education under the Swansea Authority, told the Daily Post on Wednesday that the Swansea reg Nation, which has now been in force for some years, is that when a woman teacher gets married she is regarded as under three months' no- tice to leave. An exception is made in regard to widow. of whom there are about six in the employ of the Author- ity. The great objection to married women teachers, he said, was that they became head mistresses and stoppet promotion. I
